Spy-tastic Times in Calgary (Fundraiser in Review)

Last Friday (October 22), Highland Church generously loaned us their youth group and their fellowship hall, so we could have a funny and fun night raising funds for Camp Evergreen's capital projects (of which there are many ... you can take a peek at our Wish List if you don't believe me!). It was a huge blessing to spend the evening with friends and supporters of our ministry here at Evergreen. We thank God often for all of you, including those of you who couldn't make it out on Friday, of course!

Step One for the evening was a wildly tasty dinner, featuring a CRAZY salad dressing that Ken spent over an hour perfecting, along with time to visit at the tables and to check out the sweet Silent Auction opportunities! Thanks to the Highland youth for serving, washing dishes and helping with both set up and take down!



Step Two involved general silliness, zany costumes, headstands and a visit from the Three Tenors. Our host for the evening was Austin Powers (sometimes known as Gery Schubert). Austin had us dancing and dressing up as secret agents ... all part of our training as super secret spies, of course.






We raised $10,920 at the event!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support, love and generousity
to our Calgary-area and Linden friends!
We'll see you next October, right?
